Who should buy which
Home Pilates practitioners who want a studio-grade reformer with commercial specs and quick spring changes, and who have the dedicated floor space for a full-size machine.
You want a compact folding reformer for a small apartment, you are brand new to Pilates and want an entry-price machine first, or you cannot commit the floor space a full-size studio reformer needs.
Buyers in the US or Canada with a room that fits a 94 inch machine plus clearance, who want Pilates classes on the reformer's own screen and expect to keep the monthly plan, and who live in a major city if they want Frame to build it.
You want a published spring count, resistance range or machine weight before you buy; you need a return you can count on after using a reader code, since Frame's policy excludes discounted items and does not say whether a code order is one; or you would rather not pay monthly for classes, since Frame's own pages disagree on whether the plan is required.
